So I'm thinking about doing a mod to the moto folio case and make the front cover detachable and reatachable. The material doesn't feel like it will unravel do I believe if I use a razor blade to cut it off and figure out a way to attach the other side of the lid. Hoping maybe this will make it a little better for the dock however I will probably lose the stand capability. Anyways I got the case for 20 and could probably get it again for that price. Any opinions? Has anyone tried this? Please let me know your thoughts.

Why bother? Fold it underneath when on your lap and u dont notice it. The only time mine annoys me is when i have to charge it
I don't know if it can unravel when cut, but that was a concern of mine as well. I added a 3/8-inch diameter hole over the charging port so that I can charge it with the cover closed. It works great. To prevent unraveling or fraying, I melted the hole (using an old nut driver heated over the stove).
I don't understand the desire to cut the flap off, but I won't question your goal. If you do cut it, you can heat seal the edge with a flame or hot blade.
I just feel like the flap gets in the way but now that I think about it I will probably need the stand capability for school. I may just cut the hole like you said.

So I did it. I really got tired of holding the case open. Now it fits in the dock better as well.

Just charging, that's all you can do really other than plug in some speakers. Kind of bugs me it doesn't have a USB out of the dock. Oh well I only paid $25 for it.
Just put a USB (Motorola Camera Cable) inside my dock tonight. SWEET!
Took some doing, and had top pitch the top weight inside, but it looks pretty clean.

that bulge on the side is a serious buzz kill
Yeah wtf its the bulge about?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
just a guess here but I'm thinking the bulge is the micro usb connection to the backup battery in the case.
Looks like the skin is happy to see somebody while in a speedo.

The Mytouch4G 'Boner Skin'.
where could i get this case?
Too bad the MT4G doesn't have an alternate way of charging aside from the usb port so that a case like this could use a less intrusive, low profile, way of making contact. Like charging pins or something maybe...
Ignoring the side pins for a moment... Why is that bulge so large? It's like the designer has never seen a right angle plug on anything before.

http://www.htcphones.net/t-mobile-accessories-including-powerskin-for-mytouch-4g/
Recycled one piece silicone case with a comfortable non-slip cover and full protection. Smart sensing, rechargeable built-in battery that keeps your myTouch powered automatically. LED lights that show your current battery strength and charge status
Patented XPAL battery chemistry providing twice the power and ultra thin profile.
Still waiting for something that uses the pins on the side... *sigh*

are talking about the case or a boner
I got this case for 70 bucks from T-mobile store. I have used it for about a week and love it. The bulge is a micro USB connector underneath. You charge the case from the oppisite side when installed on phone. Can't computer doesn't read phone with case installed. The budge doesn't get in the way though. Almost adds a better grip. I would buy it again.
I just got the case today adds a lot of bulk and the case is slippery.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i saw it at the tmo store but unfortunately i'm not fond of rubber skin cases so i had to pass since i couldn't see it outside of the box but i'm really considering trying it out
That's the one thing I hate about mytouch 4g is the side usb connection!
Can't hold the darn thing while charging !
Case is a piece of crap because it lacks a power switch. This means it charges the phone whether it has to or not. Returned it today.
Amazon.com Price= $38.20

This looks pretty similar to something that I believe Otterbox will end up looking like. Personally, I think the flap over the camera is laughable but if you want true protection it comes with a price.
Picked one of these up. LOL! Why? I work in a very dirty environment that would subject my phone to a lot of fine particulates and water. Plus a 2-year old that loves to play with phones.
It is next to impossible for me to get the kickstand out with this case. I need long fingernails to reach the stand with this one.
Anyone else have one of these?
I have this case and i think it's great that you can add the extra protection when it's needed, and then just remove it when you don't.
Can the flap for the camera be permanently removed?

I just got mine in the mail about 2 days ago. i have no flap. i did also buy this from amazon. Maybe mine is older or new i don't no. i would post the link from where i bought it but im still a newb.
all in all i love the case and the belt clip. great product

You could have to rip the rubber off the pivot piece for the camera cover. Then you could make it removable. It's the only option I know of.

that hole next to the camera, yea the bump on the flap is placed there to hold it back.
i had this case since i bought my TB but i got it from Best Buy n it was called Platinum. its a really good case. i would really recommend this
same I got the platinum series TB case from best buy. 34.99
its sleaker then the one posted though and looks better IMO.
The holes in the back for the cam and LED are 2 different accurate cut outs instead of one. looks better but it dies not have the flap/cover
Its the same case. The convert just has two extra layers and isn't rebranded.
Anyone know? Wanna grab one from Best Buy today but want to know if it works
Cant imagine they would since the GT is longer and narrower...
Gonna second this to increase my post count... A nice messenger bag would work tho
Most that I have tried do not. They leave a small gap where the top of the hole to the pouch would normally touch the bottom.
The 10.1 is just a little bit too long. I'm currently using a 10" netbook sleeve until I decide what I want to do...
Wont fit.

There are a few on ebay:
http://stores.ebay.com/The-Fair-Pri...286603010&_sid=62662480&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
But other than being patient until more products are released, there's not much you can do. Remember, the iPad has been out for over a year, the iPad2 for months and this thing 5 days. Be patient.
I picked up a $10 neoprene netbook bag from the discard bin at a computer shop to use for now. Ideal, no. Functional and temporary, yes. For the first two days I used a bubble envelope - no joke. It was my "theft deterrent bag"...

I swear, that dude is saying "U mad, bro?"
I'm using this one. It's snug, but fits well. Plus it has a pouch in the front for my Mifi and cable.
Belkin Vue Sleeve
The neoprene roocase for the ipad2 is a very tight fit but should give good protection.
This fits, but is a little snug in the width. Got it on closeout for $10 at Staples.
this is the case found on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747091#
Okay so i just got the case today
My first impression was it looks pretty cool.
Inspecting the case more, i find the quality to be pretty good. It doesnt feel cheap, not at all.
The case is easy to put on, but hard to take off. What I'm saying is, it doesnt feel like the second piece of the case would fall out of it at all.
The first layer of the case is made of Silicone. The second is hard plastic with silicone top on it which gives it more grip on your hand and wouldnt slip when put on top of a table, etc.
The case feels solid and grippy. it has holes for the mic and noise cancellation mic. The case has a cover for the 3.5mm which is great but not for the micro usb(expected that anyways).
The volume and power button are easy to press and gives you a nice feedback. Its really great
There is only one problem that i came across with the case, though its not really a big deal.
The hole for the micro usb port is too small for the charger that came with the phone. But if you force it in, it should go in DEEP.
I have a spare cable like this one so everything is all good

For $6 this case is a total beast.
Quality is great and it looks pretty slick.
9/10
just got my other case today.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330759812700?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The case looks fantastic, though. Its hard to put on, like super hard. You have to force it to fit.
What i like about it is that it looks better than the the one similar to it. I like how the charging port is bigger as well.
Only problem i have with it is that fitting, its not easy and requires a lot of force to get it fitted.
Check out the pictures.

For the us folks.
I have this case. I use it out of all the cases ive bought. The charger port is too small for the cable came with the phone. But you can stretch the silicone then put it in and it fits. The case is great quality so it will not break easily. Though I bought a new cable that fits better, but it raises the the silicone a little. Its not bad at all though. The buttons feedback is great, i can press them easily. This case is good looking, i just love it.

i like the look of that 1. im gonna have to look for a uk seller for that.
i bought the hybrid case and have found a couple of things i dont like about it.
1. the charger doesnt fit through the case, i have to pull the bottom lip of the case down.
2. the build quality is really bad, and i can see roughly cut edges all the way round the screen
